Go to the User CP Bar ( okay if you dont kno where its at....look for the New POst link you can hit....its in the dark gray bar...to the left...yes pass calender...to the left, past Members List...to the left past FAQ, HOLY Crap, thats User CP)
Go into User CP, then go to Edit Options then go all the way to teh bottom of the page....gives you a drop down box to select a new Color Layout, click a new color ( Matrix, snow etc etc) then select save changes, this should eliminate lag time...somehow it works, dont ask me why
